He outlined the changes proposed since the Planning Commission meeting.The applicant is requesting a reduction in the parking requirements.City code requires 2 stalls per unit and 1 stall for every 3 units for guest parking; they are proposing 1.75 per unit and accommodating at the required rate of 1 stall per 3 units.The height being requested is 51.5’.He recommended the following conditions if approved: 1) A 100’ temporary sewer line easement that follows the property line that will be reduced to a 50’ permanent easement once it is constructed; and 2) An erosion hazard study before any permits are approved.The reduction in units to 132 units will take the proposal down to about 17 units per acre.The Planning Commission recommended approval; a number of residents spoke at the Planning Commission meeting.Some of the Planning Commissioners were concerned with the height of the buildings.

Applicant Scott McCall remined the Council about their presentation several years ago when the Bloomington Country Club presented a comprehensive general plan amendment.The apartments were always a part of the plan in making the country club viable; not necessarily 4-story, but the density was always High Density Residential.The density being requested is less than the traffic study supports.He noted this will be a high-end apartment complex.As part of this project, there will be a trail relocation; he showed this on a map.He stated that they have met with nearby residents; he indicated that they do not want the apartments; however, they are willing to work with the developers.The colors and materials will be the same as the development across the street.

City Manager Adam Lenhard explained there is a provision in the development agreement – a land donation that allowed for the Southern Parkway to be built.Because of the donation of the land, there is specific language that states the developer does not have an obligation to build any of the interchanges along the Southern Parkway.The developers needed exits 6 and 7 and will most likely be the primary beneficiaries of exit 5; however, a lot of it is up to them and timing.The City has not been collecting impact fees for exit 5 but will do so in the upcoming capital facilities plan.
